Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer concentrate on the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. They put in an average of 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to general medical school and in fact various podiatry programs are located within these institutions. Upon procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have gained extensive medical training with an emphasis on issues pertaining to the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to manage problems extending from general conditions such as ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are more challenging such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have comprehensive surgical training which provide them the skill required to execute surgery on those concerns that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs receive as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Recognizing biomechanics and gait irregularities makes it easy for a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and avoid many conditions which the feet normally encounter.
